3-4 fronts, outside linebacker play, coverages and zone pressures.

28 titles · page 1 of 2

The 3-4 gives a coordinator four linebackers to move and disguise, and the 3-4 stack defense coaching videos here show how to use them: two-gap and one-gap versions of the front, outside linebacker technique on the edge, the coverage package behind it, and zone pressures that bring four while dropping seven.

Installs cover alignment against every common formation, run fits, how the nose and ends play their techniques, and the adjustments that turn the 3-4 into an odd-stack or a four-man front when the situation calls for it.

3-4 Stack Defense Coaching Videos: Installs & Pressure Packages: Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of players does the 3-4 need?
A nose who can hold the point, ends who can two-gap or slant, and linebackers who can run. The coordinators here explain how they place athletes when they do not have a prototype at every spot.
Two-gap or one-gap?
Both are taught here. Two-gap asks linemen to control blockers and free the linebackers; one-gap versions slant and stunt to create penetration. Several coordinators run both by call.
How does the 3-4 handle spread formations?
By walking an outside linebacker out, checking to nickel or using the odd-stack look. The videos show the adjustments and the coverage rules that go with them.
Do these videos cover zone blitzes?
Yes. Fire zones and other zone pressures are a strength of the 3-4 and are covered in detail with cut-ups.
Can I stream these or do I need the DVD?
Most 3-4 titles stream instantly after purchase, and many are also sold on DVD or as a download.
Is the 3-4 suitable for high school?
Yes. It is common at every level, and the coordinators here coach at the high school and college levels and teach it with high school personnel in mind.
